Response Group Call List Report in Skype for Business Server 2015

Summary: Learn about the Response Group application in Skype for Business Server 2015.

The Response Group application provides a way for Skype for Business Server 2015 to answer and route phone calls based on the number that was dialed and, optionally, on the caller's responses to a series of questions. Typically, Response Group calls are not routed to an individual person but, instead, are routed to a team of people referred to as an agent group. For example, if someone calls the phone number for your help desk, Skype for Business Server 2015 can automatically route that call to the first available help desk agent. Alternatively, Skype for Business Server could ask a series of questions ("Press 1 if you are having hardware problems. Press 2 if you are having software problems. Press 3 if you are having network problems.") and then route the call to the most appropriate help desk agent based on the answer to those questions.

The Response Group Call List Report represents a collection of calls made for a specified period of time and for a specified type of call. The Response Group Usage Report (which must be opened first before you can open the Response Group Call List Report) recognizes the following call types:

Received calls. Total number of calls received by all instances of the Response Group application.

Successful calls. Total number of calls that were picked up by the Response Group application.

Offered calls. Total number of calls that were transferred to a Response Group agent.

Answered calls. Total number of calls that were actually answered by a Response Group agent.

Percentage of abandoned calls. Percentage of calls that were received by the Response Group application but were never answered by an agent. This value is calculated by subtracting the Answered calls from the Received calls, and then dividing that value by the number of Received calls. For example, if you received 10 calls and 7 were answered, you would subtract 7 from 10, leaving 3 unanswered calls. That value would then be divided by 10, giving you an abandoned call percentage of 30%.

Transferred calls. Total number of Response Group calls that were transferred because of a queue timeout or queue overflow.

The Response Group Call List Report allows you to limit the displayed data to calls involving a particular Response Group workflow. To do that, you need to enter the workflow URI (the workflow's SIP address) in the Workflow URI box. Before you can do that, however, you must actually be able to see the Workflow URI box. To display the filtering options for the Response Group Call List Report, click the Show/Hide Parameters button in the upper left-hand portion of the report window.

Note that the Response Group Call List does not display information about either the Response code or the Diagnostic ID if you hold the mouse over either of those metrics. If you need more information, you might note the Response code and/or Diagnostic ID, and then search for those values in the Top Failures Report in Skype for Business Server 2015.

a question like this one: "Which individual workflow received the most calls?", you can do the following:

On the Response Group Usage Report, set the desired time period and then click the Received Calls metric. That will open the Response Group Call List Report.

Export the data shown on the Response Group Call List Report. For example, you might export the data in Microsoft Excel format, and then use Excel to convert that data to a comma-separated values file.

Run your analyses using Windows PowerShell.

For example, if you have saved the data to a file named C:\Data\Response_Group_Call_List_Report.csv, you can then use the following command to return the total number of received calls for each workflow listed in the report:

Filters provide a way for you to return a more finely-targeted set of data or to view the returned data in different ways. The following table lists the filters that you can use with the Response Group Call List Report.
